Brown-bag lunch

After Lit class, we took our lunches, packed in brown-paper bags by Jack's mom, to the cafeteria and met up with Jack's friends.

As if being in high school last week didn't make me feel, I got to return for an entire half-day today!! Today I met Jack around 10am and joined him for most of the day. We got a few shots of the baseball field, and then went to Lit class, Lunch and Gym Class.

I was given unfettered access to Jack in school today, and was able to follow him to his classes and show him interacting with his friends

Throughout the day I shot Jack in his classes and with his friends, in an attempt to portray him as a "normal 17-year old." While the story will tell of Jack's struggle and selflessness, the core of the story is about a normal, loving and inspiring 17-year old named Jack.
